The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Le Lion est Mort ce Soir

Synopsis

An actor, caught up in the past, learns that his current film shoot is unexpectedly suspended for an indefinite period. He takes this opportunity to visit an old friend and settles, clandestinely, into an abandoned house where it happened that the great love of his life, once lived.

This film is not currently playing on MUBI but 30 other great films are. See what’s now showing

I had the chance to see it at FICUNAM 2018, also to heard the director answer so many questions. A not quite normal homage to Jean Pierre, more that a gentle and natural work by perhaps one of ours great live actors.
